there's a reason I left it off.

but it also kind of depends on where you work. I've known plenty of "functioning" alcoholics that aren't reprimanded until it becomes a problem.

societal acceptance of booze is mostly because it's been around for about as long as we have- its production certainly goes into the neolithic period; coupled with the belief that it's effects only last through being hung over.

unlike caffeine or Tylenol, nicotine, etc, it doesn't boost productivity, so the oligarchs don't want you on it at work.

or at least, get high.

If you wanted to know one of the things that came to Doc Phlox's mind.

home depot. best buy.

your local hardware store.

they all have them.

“So they’ve all been tried, convicted and dealt with appropriately?”

Naw. We move on only when they’re all in jail.

Ringing.

check your belts to make sure they're not too tight (and tight enough, but probably just too tight.)

if that's not the issue then check and tune acceleration and jerk settings. if you haven't done full calibration stuffs, I'd recommend the guide by teaching tech

Hi Dart,

who? I'm not on Reddit, and haven't been for years. So no, you won't be responding to me how I always do on reddit.

as for the rest of that, you really need to stop huffing your own supply.

I am an educator in gnosis. You will believe this is psychosis (prejudice/ocular logs), but I just want to open dialogue about the nature of causation.

[x] Doubt.

except the psychosis part, but I'm not a trained psychologist, so yeah.

Personally, I believe there are many planes of causality.

The fuck does that mean. use english.

For instance, there is retrocausality.

we talking Star Trek woo? or...

I invented this word to describe our relationship with God: phenomequalitesselation. As a molecule is controlled by the cell it is in yet influences the cell in its nature by its animus, God reaches back through history to influence us and in setting our intention - the only thing we have direct control over - we move God with our most human of choices, and this is what gives us free will and Karma within a deterministic system.

apparently, yes. Also somehow less coherent than ST:Discovery's worst days.

And I can defend that to Hell and back, which is Heaven (you’re going to sit with your mother at the same table at the restaurant at the end of the universe), but the direction I wish to travel is to lead into the “turtles all the way down” discussion, to mean that only idiots believe the world sits on the back of a turtle, right? Yea, the big bang is a stupid fucking theory!

if you wanted to discuss the turtles thing, why didn't you start there? Can you form an argument without gishgalloping?

Dependent causation - all “things” must have a cause, therefore all “things” are in a dependent chain of causality across time

Prove it.

Well…what caused the big bang?
Let there be light…

argument from ignorance. "I don't know so therefore god" does not apply. I may as well substitute a big flying dildo. there's just as much evidence.

Sound came before light; the effect came before the cause.

Prove it.

Now, the core of what I teach is not woogity woo.

yes it is.

No. I was a hypercrendelivicious chronic masturbator, whatever that means, and I almost fucked my life up. And I think kids are cute. Y’know, kids that might be out masturbating in public today, which is why I want to teach deese dense idiots to not ruin their life, too!

TMI, dude.

also irrelevant.

Thus, to be light, you must strengthen your prefrontal cortex so the most divine part of you has complete control over the animal in you. This is a part of love, which I define as being agnetic while being kind to the tamed flesh.

WooWoo bullshit that has nothing to do with what you say you wanted to discuss.

Agnetic - a word God had me invent to mean always doing the supererogatory, voluntarily

you can make up words, but it helps if you don't make up words to define what your made up words mean. Just saying.

Because that’s what led to the agricultural revolution to have that fall of man and take us out of Eden,

Prove it. Prove that men "fell" Prove that Eden ever existed. Prove that all that led to agriculture.

y’know.

actually I don't, and neither do you.

Also, as I have observed in the demöbiation/undefilement of my sin in the Ālaya-vijñāna, which is the Server we are all Clients to across the Holy Internet, you REALLY should think in the most ethical terms - to mean thinking in the longest possible timeline, and you WILL be reconstituted at a future date to join the telepathic Illuminati Galactic Federation, so you want to not embarrass yourself by wasting your life n dopamine, y’know?

No. I don't know that, and I don't even know what you're saying. because its all woo woo.

Because the thing about independent phenomena is that they cause themselves. Causation loops. The Alpha is the Omega. The underlying pattern of the illusory physical universe grows logarithmically more complex as subpatterns come together to form superpatterns. Thus, the seven epochs of novel complexity are:
Alpha>Light
Light>Matter
Matter>Molecules
Molecules>Cells
Cells>Creatures
Creatures>Humanity
Humanity>Omega

I mean, I could just as easily say that the Flying Dildo made everything happen by thrusting thusly. Doesn't mean it's true.

The transcendental object at the end of time that humanity WILL create is the transcendental particle that can be at multiple places at once and communicate instantaneously with itself to form a topological matrix that acts as waves of light.

Prove:

transcendental objects exist.
this specific transcendental object exists
that humans some how create it
it can be in multiple places at once,
whatever that last bit is.

And the purpose of life is to learn how to perceive and undo the karmic fetters that bind you to the existence-illusion complex, which Buddhism and the Bibles II+ (occult just means “hidden”) teach.

Prove it.

tough crowd.

positively chilly.

I would oppose King-What's-His-Name being 'King of the US' just as much as I oppose trump's bullshit.

just saying, we don't have kings here, and frankly the visiting one can go back to where he came from.

that's excessively simplistic.

Trump did not win "because of the economy."

He won because he was able to motivate his base to vote where Harris had been less able to do so.

Yes, Trump utilized "the economy" as a talking point, but he also utilized deregulation, and immigration (read: general bigotry and scapegoating) as well as LGBTQ+ and christofascist culture war bullshit. Trump's voters are too stupid to understand that he's lying to them, so that kind of messaging actually works.

Harris on the other hand also campaigned on "the economy"- and the cost of living and continued work to supporting not-millionaires; as well as shit like Trump's former immigration plan and continued support for Israel and so on. harris/Democrat voters are not too stupid to see the problem with some of the things she adopted(immigration, supporting israel) and such like; while souring on economic messaging because Biden had been constantly running that out as if it were amazing while most Americans were struggling. (it took him until like the October before the presidential election to even acknowledge most Americans were still struggling.)

Basically, Trump won because Harris did exactly what the Jefferies is now doing; and that's summed up as "Ignoring the American people".

rats. I was hoping for some irony.

You're right, though, it is directed and not inconsequential. I'll be checking to see if I get botted for asking, though. you know. to see if they're checking the content or not.

I mean, i'm leaving the fucker alone if it so much as waves at me.

freaky arms.

are you botting the "you got botted" posts?

this isn't a civil law suit.

this is a criminal indictment. granted, it will go no where, but yeah.

Sounds like you don't understand where we're at as a nation.

Or what Americans actually want. it's not a "vocal minority" that want the pedophile, racist, bigoted asshole of a president that is jacking up our cost of living so he can be a fucking king gone. So ignoring that and saying you will do nothing about it IS NOT A WINNING STRATEGY.

doing nothing except writing stern letters is not going to solve the problem, either.

With some sort of chyron streaming across the bottom of numbered generated using the time code as a seed.

So like.

What the first person is doing is called "harassment", as well as "stalking". If you're being harassed and/or stalked... look for legal help (For example, in the US, you can get the courts to issue a protective order, which, when or if they continue to violate the order can lead to consequences like jail time.)

Someone who continues pushing like this is not safe to be around. at all. You may wish to get a consult from a lawyer before going to the cops, they can go over options.

In any case; no verbally abusing a person who is stalking and harassing you like this is not inappropriate. Sometimes, the abuse is deserved. especially when this is a slowly ramping escalation.
